Shutdown during SP3 download and installation

[Scorpiobuzz]

Alright, a client of mine was downloading SP3 on her office machine and
decided it was taking too long and shut it down. Then she tried to restart
chose "last known good config", it wouldn't start so she shut it down again
and then again and then again.

It now just loops during startup, I get the loading screen and then a
restart. Won't go into safe mode with the message; can not run in safe mode
setup is not loaded.

I have run the following for solutions:

chkdsk /r
fixmbr
fixboot
Loaded a repair of xp (second screen choice where it copies all new files,
etc.)

What should I do?

IMHO, it sounds like it's too late to do anything now.

You could try -
Windows Update newsgroup:
(OE newsreader)
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsupdate
or
(Web)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/...=microsoft.public.windowsupdate&lang=en&cr=US

But if it was my computer, I would cut my losses and start over. The damage
is done.
